COIN-REGISTER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 5, 1907.

Application filed September 19, 1903. Serial No. 173,849.

To all w/wm it may concern: I

Be it known that I, LEO J. BURDICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Coin-Registers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in coin-registers.

The objects of this invention are, first, to provide an improved coin-register by which the values of coins of different denominations introduced therein are registered; second, to provide an improved coin-register by which i 5 the values of coins of different denominations are registered, which is simple and compact in structure and economical to produce; third, to provide an improved coin-register which is simple and easy to operate and not likely to get out of repair.

Further objects and objects relating to structural details will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

' I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in the fOllOWlilg specification.

The invention is clearly defined, and pointed out in the claims.

A structure embodying the features of my 0 invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a structure embodying the features of my invention 3 5 adapted to a toy savings-bank. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail front elevation view of the operative mechanism, the front of the casing being removed. Fig. 3 is a detail longitudinal sectional view taken on a line correspond- 0 ing to lines 3 3 of Figs. 4, 5, and 6, portions being shown in full lines. Fig. 4 is a detail crosssectional view taken on lines 4 4 of Figs. 2 and 3. Fig. 5 is a detail cross-sectional view taken on lines 5 5 of Figs. 2 and 3. Fig. 6 is 5 a detail cross-sectional view taken on lines 6 6 of Figs. 2 and 3. Fig. 7 is an enlarged perspective view of the locking-dog for-theregistering-wheels. tion showing the lever E in engagement with thenumber-wheels and with the coin in-the 1 apparatus and about to be discharged- Fig,

9 is a verticalsection taken on a line-corre sponding to line 9 9 of Fig. 8.

In the drawings, the sectional views are Fig. 8 is a detail side "eleva taken looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section-lines, and similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the let ered parts of the drawings, the casing A is here represented as a toy savings-bank. The coins are introduced through the coin-chute A. The casing is provided with suitable-windows a, through which the amount registered may be read.

Supported within the upper portion of the casing A is a frame B, on which the operative parts of the machine are supported. The operative mechanism is provided with a shieldor cover B. Supported by the frame B and projecting through the side of the easing A is a shaft C, which is provided with a suitable crank C, by which it is actuated. Mounted onthe shaft 0 is a cup-sha ed wheel or drum D. This Wheel or drum is preferably formed of sheet metal. The drum D is provided with a projecting hub D, which is secured to the shaft C by the pin 5.

A lever E is pivotally mounted on the pin e, so thatit is revolved with the shaft. This lever E is formed of a" piece of sheet metal bent into a loop to form arms E E, which embrace the hub D. The lever E is shaped somewhat like a letter S, the advantage of which will ap ear later.

A locki 0g -F is supported on the looped end of thfiever E by a pivot e. One end of the dog F projects through a suitable slot in the drum D and is notched at f to engage the Wall of the drum to lock the lever in its engaging osition. The do F is held under tension y a coiled spring which is secured to the inner end of the dog and to the arm f which is preferably formed by striking a portion of the drum inward. The sprin f also tends to return the lever E to its initial position when the dog F is disengaged.

Revolubly mounted on the shaft C is a series of number-wheels G G G. The units or lower number-wheel G is provided with laterally-projecting teeth g, ten in number, with which the tooth h on the end of the le ver E is adapted to engage when the lever is in its operative position. The lever E is pro- -Vld6d-With an arm m, projecting inside of the drum D. A coiled spring m, secured to the periphery of the drum and to the arm m, tends to hold the same in its normal position. The periphery of the drum D is slotted at d to receive a coin, as is indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2 at 7', the inner end of the arm m serving as a rest for the coin. The guiding-plates d project inwardly from the slot (1 in the drum to form a holder for the coin and to retain the'same upon the arm.

Arranged to the rear of the drum D and encircling about'one-half thereof is a camshaped plate L, which the projecting edge of the coin engages as it is carried downwardly by the drum. the cam-plate, it is dischargedfrom the drum into a suitable receptacle, in this case the bottom of the casing A. When the coin engages the cam-plate L, it is forced inwardly, thereby actuating the lever E, so that the tooth h thereon is engaged with one of the teeth 9 on the units number-wheel G.

When the lever E is thrown forward, thenotch f in the lockin -dog F engages the wall. of the drum and Iocks the lever in its enga ing position, sothat as the shaft is rotate the units number-wheel. is rotated.

"The five-Qentpieceisetsueh size astoactuate tli leveeatthe beginning ofltlremovementflofithesdrmn, so that the units-wheel is carried forward until the coin is dischar ed, which occurs when the drum has compIeted' one-half its revolution, the lever returnin to its normal position on the discharging 0 the coin. To prevent the lockin -do F engaging when the lever is released y the discharge of a coin, I provide a cam 77/, which is arranged on the shield B, which is adapted to engage the dog.

As it is necessary to cause the units registry-wheel to make av complete revolution to secure the proper registry of a ten-cent coin,

To prevent over-registration, I provide a pivoted locking-dog J, adapted to en age the teeth on the units-wheel G. The Iockingdo J is provided with projecting arms M and N. The arm M is provided with anupturned portion, which lies in the path of the a When the coin passes from.

tooth e on the arm E of the lever E when the lever is in its engagin position. This trip is arranged so that the ocking-dog is ac tuated just previous to the disengagement of the lever locking-dog F by the releasingcam n, so that when the lever is released and disenga ed from the number-wheel the regdrum that when the slot is in' position to receive a coin the lug is in engaging position with the arm K, so that as soon as the drum is .actuated the register-wheel lock is released.

The number-wheels G G G are connected by a suitable gear train. The numberwheels are preferably formed of sheet metal, cup-shaped in form and mounted on suitable hubs. The number-wheels G G are provided with gear g g, which are adapted to. mesh with the pinic-ns I revolubly mounted on the shaft H. The number-wheels G G are provided with engaging members g These engaging members are adapted to engage the pinions I as the number-wheels are revolved, thereby advancing the succeeding number wheel one step at each revolution of the preceding number-wheel. Each number-wheel is provided with numerals from 0 to (9") To prevent the manipulation of the lever E through the coin-chute to throw the same into engagement with the registry-wheel, I provide a stop i opposite the coin-chute, so that it is impossible to manipulate the-lever when in this position to engage the same without the introduction of a coin.

I apply tension to the units-wheelG by a spring F which is secured to the frame B and the free end of which is curved to engage the teeth on the number-wheel G.

With the parts thus arranged they are sub.- stantially all formed of sheet metal and are therefore very economical to. produce and comparatively light.

I have illustrated and described my im proved coin-register as applied'to a toy registering-bank. It is, however, evident that it is applicable for various uses. The structure I have illustrated is adapted for the use of three coins onlythat'istheone-cent, fivecent; ,and-ten-eentpieces. It is evident, however, that the principle of operation is applicable to coins of other denominations. The same may be easily adapted for a check registeror the like without departing from.

my invention.

I have illustrated and described my F11- proved coin-register in the form preferred by me on account of economy of manufacture and durability in use. I am aware, however, that "it is capable of very great structural variation without departing from my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
